“I definitely recommend the Zagreb bike tour--Bruno was professional, insightful, and tailored the tour according to our preferences. He was also very friendly and great for conversation. I believe it was our favorite part of Zagreb, and Bruno's advice definitely helped us on the rest of our trip through Croatia.”

“Small bike rental shop owned by a local couple, who offer ordinary bike rental, but also a shorter 2,5 hour inner-city guided tour or 4 hour tour including the suburbs. We have done many sightseeing tours by bike, but the one comes in top due to the engagement, knowledge and proud local guide, who truly loved her city and liked to communicate with people from other cultures. We also enjoyed hearing her views and experiences about Croatias situation as part of Yogoslavia and now in the EU. Worth the money and a good start in a city you dont know yet. Also our teenage sons thought it was great.”
Meet Ivan and Dino 5 km from Omiš for an 8 km return ride through the Cetina River Canyon. Stable water bikes need no steering and suit beginners, though pedaling for an hour or two takes effort. Dino follows by motorboat with water, photos, river insight, and a tow if your legs give out.
“We chose to do these water bikes because we’d not done anything like this before and the experience was very different! The views of the river and canyon are a must see and we thought these bikes would be more fun than a standard boat trip. Ivan provided drinks and snacks and stayed behind while Dino was very informative and accompanied on a boat. We chose to do the 5 o’clock tour as the 2 o’clock would have been too hot and this was a good decision. I will say though, the pedalling can become hard work especially after the hour mark. There is a break half way through but…”
Ride through Split with guide Marijana on a small-group e-bike tour of Marjan Park, Diocletian’s southern walls, the fish market, Marmontova Street, and the city’s oldest neighborhood.

Set out from Hvar Town on a private, self-guided four-hour e-bike route through stone villages and lavender fields to Lacman Family Winery. Your phone carries the route, so you set the pace. Taste organic Hvar wines with cold local starters, then enjoy high viewpoints, including views toward Napoleon Fortress and the islands.

You’ll collect a fully equipped e-bike and helmet from Hvar Outdoor, then follow a phone-based route toward Stari Grad. Jadran and his team provide local recommendations before you leave. Expect mountain climbs, lavender-scented roads, Malo Grablje, Velo Grablje, and wide views from Vidikovac. This private five-hour outing suits confident cyclists who want freedom rather than a guided group.
“Today, on our final day in Hvar, we biked 14 miles through the hills, with the scent of blooming lavender drifting through the air. Hvar, Croatia, is known as the “Lavender Island” due to its extensive lavender fields, particularly the variety called lavandin, also known as “Budrovka.” Lavender is a significant part of the island’s identity and economy. #biking #ebike #cycling #hvar #lavendar #waldmanadventures”
